The walkthrough on the wiki should help out with most of the above problems. I also suggest joining the discord for help in the future, as it will come a bit quicker :)
It's nothing new but your project looks AMAZING. It's incredible all the work you put into the little details and all the new features thanks to decompilation. So much potential, I'm sure it inspires a lot of romhackers, so I wish you the best!
I've since learned what to do with the Porygon quest, but, my bag is full, and I don't how if there's a way to access an item storage? If there is one?
Just wanted to say, THANK YOU for including the available Gender OPTIONS!!!!! <3 Very excited to play through! Seems like a lot of love has been put into this, and it's inspiring to say the least :)

There is no item storage. The power items pocket is too small in this version, so unfortunately you'll have to get rid of something else. That will be fixed in the future, though.

Coming from Unbound to test Voyager I can say this project has me absolutely stoked. I'm blown away by the sheer amount of things I thought were simply not possible in a GBA romhack. Unbound is already the GOAT of romhacks, but this is surely a great contender.
Seriously, changing my pokemon animation? The hell. Auto battles? Good lord. DIALOGUE OPTIONS? SoS battles? Seriously? God, I'm one hour into the game and I'm baffled. I CAN SEE MY POKEMON KILLS??
This right here is a crazy thing to track, and I will be doing, surely. Will share with my friends. Developing a mod/romhack/fangame can be taxing for the people responsible, because people will always be demanding more and more. But this is a personal word to devs, even though I' sure they already know it. TAKE YOUR TIME! All the time in the world to finish this beautiful work. Don't you dare to abandon it! It will get BIG, if you guys continue to pour your heart onto this, will be aurely the greatest romhack ever. You absolutely rock! The fakemon are great, general sprites are great! Congrats for those responsible too. The person doing the scripting? Good lord you are a god in this community. Congratulations. Can't wait. But will patiently.
Thousands of years ago, a catacalsymic event upended the majority of the planet's landmass. Sea levels rose to drastic levels, forcing Pokémon and mankind alike into the formerly-high-altitude region of Keplara. Generations later, the region's ever-growing population would force humanity to encroach upon the feral Pokémon's territory, increasing tensions across the region. With no other land on Earth to populate, Keplara's human residents have begun to explore alternatives for human expansion. Some choose to explore the land or sea, but others turn their attention towards the stars and space-faring technology.
Story
You have lived your whole life in Andromeda City, the metropolitan heart of Keplara. Your father works for the Andromeda PD; your mother is the local Antares League gym leader. Someday you'll get a Trainer's License of your own and become a well-regarded Pokémon trainer yourself.
But today is not that day. Instead, today is an exciting day for Andromeda City: your mother's Antares League gym is moving into the snazziest new digs, all the way up to the top floors of the recently-completed Pokémon community skyscraper! There's still a few things left to move and unpack before the grand opening, but it's nothing that you and your father can't handle. What could possibly go wrong?
Spoiler:
Certainly not a poorly-timed earthquake. Definitely not an undiscovered cavern holding a mysterious artifact. And there's no way that some shady organization would choose this day to unveil their plan to rapidly accelerate the development of Keplara's space exploration. If any of these things did happen, then at least it would be a good excuse to get your Trainer's License ahead of schedule.
Pokémon Voyager's story is complete through just after Gym 5 (roughly 60%). Save data for this beta release may not be compatible with future releases.

We may have forgotten some sources, please let us know ASAP if you've been left off the list! The last thing we want to do is take credit for something that what not solely our work!
I wasn't a fan of fakemons (didn't hate everyone who like it, just wasn't interested) but your rom made me open my eyes, given new evolutions to pokemons who really need it was such a great idea, and I love their designs. The choice feature and the whole world atmosphere was nice and engaging, my only request is to make some sorta of quest indicator to the map, but besides that, it was an amazing experience.
Can you please give me a walk through walls cheat so I can get there I looked everywhere I can to get the rock smash tm but can't find it I talked to every NPC collected every pokeloot that I have access to and I can't find rock smash tm please
